www.mnot.net
on 05/15/2013
Excerpt: Hi, I’m Mark Nottingham. I currently chair the IETF HTTPbis Working Group. I usually write here about the Web, protocol design, HTTP, and caching.

Introducing the API Status Board
zapier.com
on 05/06/2013
Excerpt: Zapier connects with a lot of services you rely on via APIs, almost ~200 at last count.

Hello Social Launches Platform And API For Building And Monitoring Every Aspect Of Social Marketing Campaigns
techcrunch.com
on 04/18/2013
